speaker john boehner, president barack obama, that's a little picture. the big picture, as if you look at history with richard nixon, johnson in vietnam, and any number of actions that have been sued since then and that will sue in the future is whether there is anything that can be done by the house of representatives or by the is notate it make sure that the president's obey he the law. an it do that, they compel the president to do that by court order or to clear judgment so all of us can understand what the law actually means. and this will be binding going forward so if you happen it have a democrat house or democrat senate or republican president, it cuts both ways. but i think is important to our constitutional process to be able to establish what the house and senate cannot do vis-a-vis the separation of powers over the president of the united states. so the bigger picture going forward is this is very much bipartisan. >> let me ask you about your picture on this. had mitt romney won in 2012 when he was in charge of bringing into action the affor
